Full Steam Ahead

Barleybrook Retreat is a hive of activity this week as progress continues across every part of the project.


Project Details

A striking transformation that blends tradition and modernity, Barleybrook Retreat sees the renovation of key rooms within the main house, anchored by a spectacular single-storey extension in glass, steel, and stone. Alongside, a complete overhaul of the self-contained annex brings fresh life, comfort, and style to this multi-faceted Cotswold property.

The new extension has taken shape quickly, with the roof structure now in place and preparations underway for the installation of skylights. From the outside, the form of the addition is now clearly defined, seamlessly complementing the original stonework.

Inside, the underfloor heating has been fully laid and tested, with the team preparing for the screed pour later today. This stage will set the groundwork for the next phase of internal finishes, bringing the new living spaces one step closer to completion.
